The refugee took the issue to the Hungarian courts, saying the tests “seriously prejudiced his fundamental rights” and could not assess his sexuality in any case.

The EU court ruled that states can order expert reports to help determine their need for protection but that they must respect human rights laws.

It found that the impact of sexuality tests were “disproportionate”, adding that “such interference is particularly serious because it is intended to give an insight into the most intimate aspects of the asylum seeker’s life.”

Viktor Orban’s right-wing government is a fierce opponent of mass migration and has rejected compulsory refugee quotas imposed by the European Union.

Love for Hungary. 2015 a refugee from nigeria sought asylum because of homosexuality. Hungary undertook psychological tests and found that the man was not gay and was deported. Gorgeous Hungary, thats how you save europe.?
